To reiterate -- AngelicHost hosts the DNS for U2UG.org. We have complete control over the A, MX, CNAME, etc. records. Right now, all of the DNS records point to one of our servers. I have a redirect setup on that server so that any incoming requests for www.u2ug.org are redirected to www.u2ug.net. It's a simple matter to modify the A record for www.u2ug.org to point it to the appropriate server. Because of the lists, we need to keep the MX record pointed to our server, but if we want "official" @u2ug.org email addresses for the board, or whatever, those can be accommodated.

Network solutions does not host the domain only redirects to the specified named server(s) (ns9.angelichost.net), i.e. doesn't host the A or MX record directly.
